Shape Series | Triangle Makes

OK, so it's been a slow few weeks thanks to my health, but I have a few triangle creations to share with you.

Triangle stencilling with an old design from Skull and Cross Buns. Gulls from Heffy Doodle.

A kind-of sort-of take on the sketch in my last post... but I went off piste of course. This is very much a bits and bobs layout; papers from all sorts, random stickers and embellishments, perhaps the most used brand is Pretty Little Studio, but mainly a total mish-mash.

Where are the triangles, I hear you ask. All the patterned paper in this layout has some form of triangular pattern on it. Also, got a few of those triangle 'dots' used!

I am very pleased with this card... a triangular corner shaker pocket on a card. There's a bunch of Bitty Bontanicals die cuts from Trinity and a simple embossed greeting using a Heffy Doodle stamp.

This was an experiment where my measurements went a little awry. The striped segments and glitter segments were all intended to be triangles. Three out of four ain't bad! This is another mish-mash of papers, brands and patterns.

I want to keep working with the triangle for a little longer. I've been sidelined by my body and there are still things I have pulled out ready to make but still untouched. So I'll be back when my body allows... and then I move on to squares!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday ! As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off. Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia . Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle. It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead. They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread. (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.) Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!! :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop . If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants. My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread. At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm. Perhaps the less said the better! I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here . Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card. Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first. I'll swap them round after a few weeks. Do you like my domino pegs? :) Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
